Robots That Feel

Futurologists predict that many homes will have robots in the future. Robots already do many things such as
building cars and vacuuming floors. But scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots,
ones that people will feel more comfortable having around in the house. Sociable robots will be able to show
feelings with their faces, just like humans. They will smile and frown, make eye contact, and speak. These
robots will do work around the house such as cooking and cleaning. They will even take care of children and
the elderly. How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in 25
or 30 years, perhaps sooner. Much of the technology is already here.

Houses that think

Houses That Think Are you tired of the color or pattern of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to
repaint them. The walls will be digital screens, like computer or TV screens. The technology is called OLED,3
and it’s here already. OLEDs are tiny devices that use electricity to light things. You can find the same
technology in today’s thin TV screens.
OLED walls will become clear, like windows, or display colors and patterns, like walls. A computer network will
link these walls with everything else in your house. Called “ambient4 intelligence,” this computer “brain” will
control your entire house. It will also adapt to your preferences. Your house will learn about your likes and
dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. For example, it will set the heat in the house
to your favorite temperature. It will turn on the shower at the right temperature. It will also darken the windows
at night and lighten them when it’s time to wake up
